## Featured rationale

The functional alignment with AVA signals continued support for a major food-distribution hub, while unchanged tenancy terms should limit immediate disruption for occupiers.

## AI summary

Management of the 15.4-hectare Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre, comprising about 1,240 units, was scheduled to transfer from HDB to AVA in the first quarter of 2018.

## Original article

The Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre (PPWC), currently under the management of the Housing & Development Board (HDB), will be transferred to the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) in the first quarter of 2018.

PPWC is Singapore’s main wholesale and distribution point for imported fruits and vegetables, as well as dried goods. The 15.4-hectare centre comprises 26 blocks, housing about 1,240 units as at June 2017. This includes 595 shops and stalls, 314 cold rooms, and 300 pitches. Approximately 40% of Singapore’s total fruits and vegetable imports pass through PPWC.

The transfer of management is an alignment of the agencies’ functions, as AVA is the agency responsible for food supply resilience.

There will be minimal impact on the 1,240 tenants and licensees. All key terms and conditions of the tenancy or license agreements, prevailing as at the transfer date, will remain unchanged.

Tenants and licensees of PPWC can continue to approach the on-site Managing Agent for assistance on matters relating to their day-to-day operations. For enquiries on matters relating to the transfer, they can call HDB at 1800-866-3077, or email ipgmail@mailbox.hdb.gov.sg.

### 巴西班让批发中心管理权由建屋发展局移交至农粮兽医局

目前由建屋发展局（HDB）管理的巴西班让批发中心（PPWC），将于2018年第一季度移交至农粮与兽医局（AVA）管理。

巴西班让批发中心是新加坡进口水果、蔬菜及干货的主要批发与分销枢纽。该中心占地15.4公顷，由26座楼宇组成，截至2017年6月约有1,240个单位，包括595个商铺与摊位、314个冷藏室及300个摊位位。新加坡约40%的水果与蔬菜进口经由该中心流通。

此次管理权移交旨在使机构职能更趋一致，因农粮与兽医局是负责粮食供应韧性的主管机构。

对1,240名租户与执照持有人的影响将十分有限。截至移交日期仍然有效的租约或执照协议的所有主要条款与条件将维持不变。

巴西班让批发中心的租户与执照持有人可继续向现场管理代理寻求日常运营相关协助。有关移交事宜的询问，可致电建屋发展局热线1800-866-3077，或电邮至ipgmail@mailbox.hdb.gov.sg。
